I Like It The Way It Is
La da da da, la da da da
La da da da, la da da da
I go halfway 'round the world
I need another girl
But when I see her all I do is think of you
We take a drink at my hotel
I pray for your telephone bell
But it's my turn to call you won't come through
I never wanna hurt you again
I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you know
I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is
La da da da, la da da da
La da da da, la da da da
As I lay awake alone
I know you are waiting home
And there's really nothing going on
I try to please the local crew
'Cause they say they love me too
But I'm really only showing off
I never wanna hurt you again
I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you know
I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is
My heart, oh, my heart is aching
And I'm lonely for you
But I know that really must seem
Like so many words of truth
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling
Am I even worth your frown?
The sweetness of your kiss is gone
I've brought a curse to you now
La da da da, la da da da
La da da da, la da da da
I go halfway 'round the world
I need another girl
But when I see her all I do is think of you
We take a drink at my hotel
I pray for your telephone bell
But it's my turn to call you won't get through
I never wanna hurt you again
I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you know
I think I like it the way it is
I like it the way it is
I like it the way it is
Just the way it is
